I thought the service providers were already complaining about individual users clogging up "the pipes". Giving a bigger bandwidth to end users is just asking for more backend network congestion.
Unless they are expecting us to continue along the http: clicky traffic model with all this new bandwidth.
YouTube and movie on demand services look more usable with this increased bandwidth.
I suppose the service providers are drooling at the thought of pricing per gigabyte downloads along the lines of text-message pricing.

The problem is Microsoft does not work from design or specification documents for interfaces or protocols. Microsoft makes the code work, then well it works so they don't need documentation. The documents simply don't exist and are very difficult to make correctly after the fact.
Both these protocol documents and the Microsoft Documentation OOXML standard are effectively reverse engineered from the code. This makes them mainly unreadable and unusable by a human. In many cases there are unclear dependencies and duplications that would never be done in a handcrafted standard but exist in the Microsoft protocols/standards for various reasons.
This shows how easy it would be to swing the election should one hack the voting in a few districts. The analysis can be used to show the regions to focus on.
This shows the importance of maintaining an open and audit able process if the system is to be protected from manipulation.
It also shows the importance of every vote and in protecting the rights of all to be able to cast their vote.

Your car was determined to be at point 1 at time alpha and point 2 at time beta. 1 and 2 or the same road with a speed limit.
(D2-D1)/(beta-alpha) - speed_limit = excess_speed
As the owner of the automobile this ticket has been sent to you under law HTA2009-01 and you are responsible for payment. A picture from point beta is attached for your reference should you not have been driving at the time you can contact the driver and make arrangements for them to reimburse them for your expense.
Note of this excess speed has been forwarded to your insurance company. Should the automated face recognition software have matched the photo against your drivers license you will also have been assigned appropriate demerits.
If an extreme hazard was detected in the amount of observed speed we trust that an officer has already contacted you about this issue.
The simple solution to software inefficiencies is to put it on bigger iron. The software can be slow and resource intensive but the bigger iron solves the problems.
Learn to program. Then using languages to express the programming ideas is just a mapping process. Libraries, tool kits and development environments are additional tricks in the developers bag.
Learn procedural programming. Learn object oriented programming. Learn declarative programming. Learn how programs use network and system resources.
Get a task, look at the available tools, and hardware. Pick a tool set, this includes the language and complete the task.

You will be much more valuable and won't get left behind when the whole world taks a left turn in 6 months.
The micropayment scheme is probably a fine system for a culture with vast differences in income. You get those who can only pay a little playing and get more income from those who are willing to pay a lot. Sort of a self adjusting price scheme to maximize profit.
I play for enjoyment and while I can afford to pay a fair bit would prefer not to. I will not enjoy encountering others who have payed more for flashy more powerful gear.
I will not be playing those games. So while the system might work for some it will fail for others.
Whatever the politicians say about winning the war on terror the fact that basic freedoms are now repressed and questioned as a matter of course means we have lost a lot.
Opps mistaken. As of 2005 there were a 0.35 and 0.8 lines in Beijing. But again very little appear to be some plants in Tianjin. Overall this will be 1% of global IC manufacturing. But if it affects a supply chain anything downstream will be hit.
IC fabrication does not have a big supply chain. Just sand and rare elements as inputs.
PCB and product manufacturing can be expected to be hit in strange ways. There are product paths, for connectors, cable assemblies, etc, that no one really understands that could be going through the affected area.
Suppose companies were paying salaries with the money they save by pirating software. Then rather than X * 0.05 = 25,000 police we would have X = 20*25,000 = 500,000 unemployed people
So another way of looking at the statistics is that the BSA wants to put 1/2 a million people out of work in each state.
Lies damn lies and statistics, learn to master them.
The local AMC 24 movie theater has Windows 98 on the ticket machines. A little BSOD told me so.
The machines take credit and debit cards so must have a network connection of some sort, most likely through the theater's common connection which hopefully is secure pipe back to the head office.
I presume the keyboards are locked up under the cabinets somewhere. Not really a bad solution, a reasonable low cost one requiring a level of physical security. I presume they are rebooted daily to avoid memory leaks.
More than anything we must trust the system. Because even if they were proprietary solutions someone coming in a midnight could easily install a data logger.
Nobody really gives a damn what fuels their cars, they care about cost and acceptable performance (can I make 70-80 on the freeway, or will I have a top speed of 40). If they can solve the problem of refueling infrastructure and sufficient mileage per refuel, there's no reason why not to go with a non-gas car.
Great now I can hijack the wireless connection on my neighbors gateway and sign them up to MySpace under some random name. Wait a week for his gateway logs to flush, and call the cops on him.
Last time he borrows the lawnmower and does not return it.

Toll roads don't do this.
Because toll roads want you to drive on them. If toll roads handed out speeding tickets nobody would drive on them.
Toll roads are not run by the police they are run by corporations.

Pretty much the same here.
Playing GuildWars now. It is old and cheap and no monthly expense so I feel very free to walk away for a bit and go back.
Neat looking world and story. Sure not latest graphics but the art design of the world looks good.
Whatever the politicians say about winning the war on terror the fact that basic freedoms are now repressed and questioned as a matter of course means we have lost a lot.
So are people buying internet access or the ability to shop only at approved media interface sites.
We need to take back the NET before we lose any more of it.
The last bit of each segments should list the charges/fines against the person who called.
Examples:
Called 911 for a tuna sandwich, $400 fine.
Called 911 for the capital of Spain, 2 weeks community service.
Sure the internet notoriety might get some to call but it could be balanced by showing the penalty applied.
Uhm, that web page hurts my eyes. Are you sure you recommend this as UI interface design reference.
So what is happening to patent troll companies with software patent portfolios?

Big chip production is done off shore in Taiwan. Not affected. And a lot more around Shanghai. Not affected.

does not show an FABs around Beijing in 2005.
IC fabrication does not have a big supply chain. Just sand and rare elements as inputs.
PCB and product manufacturing can be expected to be hit in strange ways. There are product paths, for connectors, cable assemblies, etc, that no one really understands that could be going through the affected area.
It will be interesting how this will play out in the social/economical dynamics of China.
Will the employees be paid during the shutdown?
Have downstream manufactures in other areas made provisions to get alternate input sources?
Will there be any unexpected interruptions in the supply chain? Either domestic consumption or export goods.
If downstream factories in other areas have to shutdown there will not be government support, there will be unhappy workers.
Having unhappy idle workers while the government is telling everyone to be happy about the Olympics is not a good thing.
Also if US orders for Christmas are down because of US domestic fears then some idled factories might not find it easy to restart.
Suppose companies were paying salaries with the money they save by pirating software. Then rather than

we would have

How does a car that costs $109,000 address the "cost" concern?
Factor in the gas costs and savings over time.
52 weeks * $100 * 10 years = $52K.
$109-52 = $57k.
What happens if the gas prices double?
Still pricey but a whole lot nicer than a top end SUV.
Nobody really gives a damn what fuels their cars, they care about cost and acceptable performance (can I make 70-80 on the freeway, or will I have a top speed of 40). If they can solve the problem of refueling infrastructure and sufficient mileage per refuel, there's no reason why not to go with a non-gas car.

GM failed to appreciate the coming change.
Good for Mercedes to be acting ahead of the curve. That is how you build technology and establish markets and presence.
Nobody killed the electric car. They killed their own opportunity.
